Coke

I wonder how much caffeine is actually in coke, because I don't get a rush from it at all. I wish I did, then I can sip on some and not overdose on coffee. Another update, another fatigued night. Work was... fun.

darkhorse

A little update for you beautiful people out there.


Guess who?! The one on the left is me, and the one on the right is Genève (with an accentegrave), sitting like the artfags we are in DARK HORSE ESPRESSO BAR. OHSHITZ.

New York New York

So a while ago I posted a WIP of a half-coloured girl's face, it was going to be an illustration for a charity artbook. But as time went by and the deadline neared, I balked on the idea and redid the entire picture. The first pic is a failed sketch for a different idea but for the same project. I eventually bailed out on that one as well.

Then I was struck with a face I liked (which... actually reminds me a lot of Geneve at 3 in the morning), so I stuck with it through a couple of weeks, and the end product is the pretty blond with fearsome abs.

...I'm letting the abs slide now because they look nice right now, but I'm also running on whatever coffee I had 5 hours ago, so it's likely going to change tomorrow. I'll give the whole thing a more sobering look tomorrow, and hopefully fix some problems that I don't have the power to fix right now.

Anyways, I'm going to New York City on Thursday, for a total of 9 days. I'm really excited for the trip because of all the museums and galleries in New York, and of course the shopping. Ohoho. I'll be staying with a friend of mine, and I hope to see a co-worker who had left a week (or two) ago to stay in NYC for a while.

All in all, lots of excitement.

But a little sad too because Satoko will leave Canada for Japan next, next week. She's my ex-co-worker and a great friend, so we had a little get together tonight to send her off because I won't be back early enough to see her off properly. Baw.

Alright, enough rambling. Nighty night.

Old guys.

Disturbing, is it not? Some random stuff in paintchat. There used to be sparkles and stars all around him, but I sort edited most of the fabulousity out.

I have a thing for older guys. I dunno, wrinkles are hot, and that aged look is just... so appealing. This one is a little too... cute for me. But they all have their charms.

St Jean Baptiste

A painting study I did for colour. I forgot the original artist's name, so I'll amend it when I find it again.

Went to Quebec for three days on one of those Chinese bus tours, we were like locusts with modern transportation. I love Quebec City, it's extremely beautiful with beautiful people and wonderful buildings. The tour happened to coincide with St. Jean Baptiste celebrations, so we sat outside drinking for a while, and it was super fun.

brushes test

Not the aforementioned ink stuff, but something. I downloaded a bunch of brushes recently, and am testing them out. I'm not used to using textures and brushes, but they seem to make things a lot easier. Oho.

whoa thar

Sorry, I haven't posted in a while. Haven't had the urge to draw anything after Anime North because of the sudden rush, but managed to start some of the commissions, barely. Hopefully they'll be finished near the end of the month.

I've been looking at Joseph Clement Coll's stuff a lot over the past few days, mostly from a book lent to me by Geneve. I won't gush too much, but I'm kind of amazed at a lot of pen and ink artists, so I think I might start doing more of that to practice and such.

Saw UP. Which was amazingly charming, and also Star Trek, twice. Renewed my love in the series, but I'm now dreading all the time I'm going to be spending on youtube searching up old clips of the original series and the Next Generation.

Mmm... Patrick Stewart.
